Part of my tooth came out when I had a cap removed, I now have three options, which do I pick?
Q.
I had one of the upper-jaw tooths root canal’ed.Post treatment, I used to’ve food lodgment problem surrounding the cavities adjoining the gums of treated tooth i.e: small slices of food teer into the gums and cavities. When I went to see a Dr, she removed the cap along with which the tooth part came out.

Dr. has suggested me 3 options :
1) Have an implant of metal by removing the root.
2) Have a bridge by cutting the left-adjacent natural tooth and removing the cap of right-adjacent root-canal’ed tooth.
Which one would be better option to prevent food lodgment? 1 or 2?
Would you suggest 3) a replacement of cap?
A.
It doesn’t sound like a new cap will work as the base of the tooth may have broken away. i would personally recommend an implant as it avoids the need to drill down another tooth
